Not a Bargain: Paying more than newstand price for magazine subscription

August 25, 2008 by Briana Carter

I’m not sure who they are trying to fool or if this was a misprint. It has to be a misprint, right? Usually, I love Mypoints. I usually just click on the emails to get my 5 points and never buy any of the products. This happened to capture my eye, though. $74.99 for 12 issues of People magazine. This works out to $6 an issue. Isn’t it only $4.99 if you buy it straight off the newstand? Not a bargain! Make sure you always price check!

    Laura – it is easy to get the points just by clicking on the emails. you don’t HAVE to buy anything or sign up for trial offers. It takes about 4-5 months to get enough to get a $25 gift card depending on what you do and if you qualify for surveys. Check out this entry for the scoop! :)

    $6/issue still is boggling my mind! LOL!

    Oh, that’s GOT to be a misprint. About MyPoints – how hard is it to get enough points to redeem them?

    I saw that too! I thought “dang People Magazine is expensive!” and I was glad that I don’t read it!
